Are you a divorced parent facing the decision to take your ex-spouse back to court for custody of your minor child? As a non-custodial parent, do you want to spend more time with your child than every other weekend? Has your child said to you "I don't want to live with my mom or dad anymore, I want to live with you?" Did you know that if your child is 14 years old or older they could choose which parent to live with? If you are considering a child custody modification then you need an experienced family law attorney.
Don't make the mistake of going to Court for a child custody modification without an experienced attorney. Under current Georgia law the child's custody election is controlling unless the Judge determines that the elected parent is unfit to be the proper custodial parent. The provision that went into effect in 2008 states that "in all custody cases in which the child has reached the age of 14 years, the child shall have the right to select the parent with whom he or she desires to live. The child's selection for purposes of custody shall be presumptive unless the parent so selected is determined not to be in the best interests of the child."
